Dave - one thing I know I personally struggle with when implementing new technologies for the restaurant industry is POS integration. More specifically getting the big companies like Aloha to allow me to integrate. What are your thoughts on this as well creating a more 'open' platform POS?

One other thing I thought you missed in your article was the trend towards quicker service, specifically for lunch. I have seen a substantial investment from restaurants to build more drive-throughs, increase delivery, etc. What are your thoughts on this trend and using tech to enhance?

pshah88 I've been looking into this, and we found a group out of Calgary called eThor that are working on developing a universal API for restaurant POS.

They have a really interesting solution they're working on that they'll use it with, but I don't think I can say anymore. I do know that they'll be releasing the API to devs and public in the near future.
